This game was fukking fire, improved on the first in literally every way, and your character was a straight up fukking badass in every cutscene, which made it even cooler that it was a character you made from scratch, but yeah agree with everyone else that said it went to complete shyt after this.

I remember copping SR3 on day 1 without looking at any reviews ect. I knew from like the 2nd hour that something wasn’t right, when I saw the size of the map along with the gangs being Wrestlers and tech weirdos I knew what time it was :francis:

Steelport as a city fukking sucked big time. I don't know what they were thinking. Everywhere looked the same, you could only walk into very few buildings and it was literally only half the size of Stillwater. How do you go from such a diverse, dope city like Stillwater to that bullshyt?

Not to mention that badass black female voice was no longer an option, you had some weird sounding Russian chick type voice instead.

All the new characters were just corny and annoying and the main bad guy dude, whatever his name was died off early in the game.

The graphics were too cartoony and didn't have that same grittiness.

Volition should have just made a totally different series altogether if they wanted to go the nerdy techie/weirdo route and just leave Saints Row as it was.

I love SR2. Played that shyt for hours and never got bored.

I tried to like SR3 but could never finish it. It got too damn goofy for me.

SR2 was fantastic...

The city was lively and the game had soo many features and just flat out fun to play...Had both a mixture of serious and genuinely funny moments...

I don't know WTF happened to this franchise after SR2, they morphed it into some corny over the top 4CAC superhero wet dream nonsense...
